Afridi, never one to shy away from bold opinions, has long emphasized accountability in big tournaments.
Speaking on SAMAA TV, Afridi said: “Drop Shaheen, drop Shadab, and drop Babar. They’ve always let us down in crucial big games.”
His comments come after India posted 175/7 in 20 overs, powered by a blistering 77 off 40 balls from Ishan Kishan.
Pakistan’s bowling lacked bite in key phases, with Shaheen conceding expensive runs at the death, while the team once again struggled to control the middle overs, an area often overseen by Shadab.
